Validation of the Omron HEM-7320-LA, upper arm blood pressure monitor with Intelli Wrap Technology Cuff HEM-FL1 for self-measurement and clinic use according to the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol revision 2010 in the Mexican population

摘要

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of the Omron HEM-7320-LA with Intelli Wrap technology cuff HEM-FL1 for self-measurement and clinic blood pressure (BP) measurement according to the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol revision 2010.Participants and methodsThe evaluation was performed in 39 individuals. The mean age of the participants was 47.914 years; systolic BP was 145.2 +/- 24.3mmHg (range: 97-190), diastolic BP was 90.9 +/- 12.9mmHg (range: 68-120), and arm circumference was 30.8 +/- 4cm (range: 25-38.5).ResultsThe device successfully fulfilled the established criteria of the validation protocol. The device overestimated systolic BP by 0.6 +/- 5.7mmHg and diastolic BP by 2.2 +/- 5.1mmHg. The specially designed cuff HEM-FL1 to cover a broad range of arm circumferences and self-placement fulfilled the requirements of the International Protocol. Copyright (C) 2017 The Author(s).
